On the same note, I can't wait to unlock that shiny MP40 after a few badges..

17 Jun 00:23

Amit Dutta

I also thought smaller was better when I first tested these out

17 Jun 00:22

John

Good point Jan!

17 Jun 00:21

Amit Dutta

--

Yeah totally Jan, I appreciate the feedback!

17 Jun 00:21

Jan Kloidt

i absolutely agree with you amit and i know you have the same intentions with them as what i want them to be, the feedback was just based on how powerful i think graphic design can be and i hope they won't lead to weird stuff unintentionally

That's not a bad idea actually. Perhaps Piotr can turn the badge post into a why we have them post? We want MOAR of the 4000 odd people who are members participating. Though probably 3/4 of them aren't active

i guess there can be a thread that explains why each badge is given to avoid confusion

17 Jun 00:18

Amit Dutta

--

It's also partly a promotion mechanism for the CC challenge...

17 Jun 00:17

Amit Dutta

--

I'm sure they would put anyone who treats them otherwise as a result of their badges straight

17 Jun 00:17

Amit Dutta

--

They are just little rewards for the people who participate....

17 Jun 00:16

Amit Dutta

--

not much you can do about what people think I guess...that's trying to control a bit much

17 Jun 00:15

Jan Kloidt

i dont want new ppl to get too impressed by those

17 Jun 00:15

Jan Kloidt

--

when youre new to sth you use all kinds of weird stuff to orientate yourself because you lack the experience

17 Jun 00:15

Jan Kloidt

--

its about newer people

17 Jun 00:14

Jan Kloidt

--

yeah i know

17 Jun 00:14

Amit Dutta

--

Most people here, know what this place is about

17 Jun 00:14

Amit Dutta

--

I don't think that will happen, but I take your point.

17 Jun 00:13

Jan Kloidt

im glad you agree with me on the size & contrast thingy, i'm really afraid that if they stick out too much some people will use them as a weird ranking system on who's word carries more weight or sth like that. that crap really happens and i never want that to happen here

Yep, I guess we'll have to wait on the Chow. Hopefully Jak will keep it up more than the few months at a time it has been running historically :)
